When you think life has gotten better,
And then the time comes, where it’s now bitter.
You can’t decide what to do,
Whether or not you should stay and wait it through.
It piles on and on until you’ve been crushed,
Letting no one hear your screams because you’ve been hushed.
So, you wait there, waiting this through,
Then deciding what you should now do.
You cry and cry until you become numb,
And time continues to tick by, waiting for something else that you can become.
What you don’t know is that things can be changed;
Everything can change without having to be exchanged.
Giving up an arm or a leg is not necessary;
Sacrificing who you are is completely unnecessary.
The lives you see others obtain
Can be yours, too, without any of the pain,
But you have to step up and show that you can
And not just by necessarily making a plan.
Gather the materials that are important
And cast out what are unimportant.
Destroy and re-build with same, old, used tools.
Build as high and as wide as you want, showing those fools
What it’s meant to stand up for yourself,
What it’s truly meant to believe in oneself.
The turning point is today,
And for damn sure I’m not letting anyone block my way.
